Multishot function broken on Nikon D50

I've just bought a Nikon D50 and the multishot function seems to be broken. I can take single shots just fine, and when it's in multishot mode I can still take just the one picture, but, sadly, no multishots!

Any ideas?

Do I need to press something else while I take the pictures, or maybe it needs to be configured differently? As far as I can tell from the manual, everything is as it should be so I'm a bit confused.

As far as i know if you see the multi shot icon on the top screen it must function if it is not you're going to have to take it back 'cause you got a refuse piece i would say at least...any way they should change it for you at once or solve your problem in case it was a newly bought camera

The multi-shot setting on a digital camera is part of the dial menu; wherever you can adjust the picture settings for close-up, panorama, action or portrait shots. Just move the dial and watch the screen to see what setting you are programming. Have fun taking great pictures!Please vote if this solution is brilliant!Sciencewoman

Sadly, you cannot do this by code input alone: you need to buy a chipped remote. You can find these on eBay for around £12 Sterling. Look for the multishot devices (eight uses) rather than single shot, as they can work out a lot cheaper if you (and friends/family) have more than one unit to unlock. Some dealers will even offer a £5 rebate on return of the remote if you do not wish to keep it as a spare.

Note that doing this without express authority from Panasonic will render your warranty void!

The Hasselblad ELM does not need adapting to use the Imacon or hasselblad digital back
the following backs fit on the ELM and can be triggered with a cable that should be supplied with the back.
Hasselblad V96c 16mp square format back
Hasselblad CFV 16mp square format back with CF slot
Hasselblad CFVII 16mp square format back with CF slot + larger screen
the following backs will work but need to have a V adapter plate fitted to the back
96c 16mp square format back
132c 22mp 645 format back
528c 22mp 645 format back with Multishot option
CF-22 22mp 645 format back with CF slot
CF-22 MS 22mp 645 format back with CF slot & Multishot option
CF-39 39mp 645 format back with CF slot
CF-39 MS 39mp 645 format back with CF slot & Multishot option

When fitting and digital back to an older camera the best advice is to get the camera body serviced to ensure that the back mount is correct as the digital backs require a better fit than the film backs did. If the mount is off it will cause back or front focus.

Pick up an old Polaroid camera that took 100-series film. The back will contain the film rollers, which are pretty much swappable. Something like a Polaroid Super Swinger III should be cheap and easy to find on ebay.
